Introduction In this era of rapid development latest technologies need high performance heat transfer equipment. Extended surfaces (fins) are vastly used in heat exchanging devices for heat transfer aug- ‘mentation and thus various efforts have been made to fabricate ‘optimized fins for heat transfer improvement. Fins are generally ‘optimized by either increasing heat removal rate ata specific fin ‘weight or redicing the fin weight ata specific heat removal capac- ity. Extended surfaces or fins are optimized using geometrical or surface modifications to the flow channel by introducing inserts ‘or additional devices, These methods are generally used in various industrial applications to enhance heat transfer between primary 7 Conresponding auth. ‘mal addres dipniarbbanaogmailcon (Dhan ‘aap doLerg/10. 1076) apptheraieng 201707053 1355-4911/0 2017 Elsevier Ld Al ight reserved surface (heat sink) and ambient fluid, Making perforations in fins is one of the most useful methods to improve heat transfer and ‘he effect of the perforations on these aspects is motivated by com- paring the perforated fin to its solid counterpart. The perforation of fins increases heat dissipation rate and at the same time decreases ‘the amount of fin materials, In addition introducing perforations in ‘he fin body. the surface area and heat dissipation rates are increased for a given range of perforation dimension, For particular values of perforation dimension, the perforated fins can enhance heat transfer rate due to more contact surfaces with the fluid as compare to solid fins. Moreover, perforated fins have lower pres- sure drag and higher friction than solid fins, Various research works have been performed for improving the heat transfer rate by using perforated fin. In most of the cases pin fins in both linear and staggered arrangement were used as an effective element for heat transfer enhancement. AlEssa|1| worked
